When Spearman was founded on a branch of the Santa Fe Railroad in 1920, this cottage was built for the stationmaster. As local agent for the railroad, he represented a business vital to the economy of this area. He supervised passenger and freight service, operation of the telegraph, and loading of the U.S. Mail. In the 1920s, the station here was especially busy, handling supplies and equipment for oil and gas fields in the Panhandle.
